Get the Leisurati mug.Instinctual Eating. A dietary fad.
Instinctos are fanatical adherents of the Cro-Magnon diet. No seriously. Instinctos only eat fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, insects, seafood, meats and anything that they "instinctually" hunger for. As long as what they are instinctually hungering for is totally raw and unprepared in anyway (no spices and no mixing of foods).
While having much in common with their fellow health store nutjobs (raw-foodists, adherents of the so called paleo-diet, primal diet, vegetarians and vegans) they are often viciously derided by them for consuming the raw flesh of animals.
It can be said that zombies adhere to a strictly instincto diet.

I am so sick of trying to cater to Melissa's trendy diets. She went from being a strict vegan to an instincto and now we can't go out to eat at any restaurants.

Get the American Taliban Beard mug.A person who wears a cock-eyed ball cap with a perfectly flat bill perched askew on one's head. Pejorative.
A fad originally started by black "urban youth" which denoted prosperity (because new hats have unformed bills). Leaving the price tags and labels on was common as well, indicating that the wearer could afford a new hat. This falls under the social phenomena of "nigger rich".
Like most "street fashion", this style has largely been appropriated (or stolen) by privileged white hipsters who want to express solidarity with black urban youth, and indicate that they too are "hard" and "from the streets".

"It's so ironic to see so many lily-white flat billers cranking hip-hop in their monster trucks and jeeps."
"Why do Flat billers even bother to wear caps? They fall off their head when they lean over and they definitely don't keep the sun out of their eyes... Maybe it's to keep their ear from getting sunburned when they are driving?"
